Help us deliver like never before  
We’re looking for a SAP Governance and Compliance Specialist to join our diverse, talented and innovative digital technology team who together are helping our customers and communities build a better future.

We're empowered to deliver for our teams and to delight our customers. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment that nurtures talented people, trusts our teams to deliver their best, and leverages modern work practices and technologies.

What you’ll deliver with us 
The SAP Governance & Compliance Specialist ensures SAP environments operate within approved regulatory, contractual, and internal policy boundaries while enabling scalable business outcomes. The role provides strategic leadership across SAP security, access governance, segregation-of-duties (SoD), audit readiness, and risk management. It embeds robust governance controls across SAP S/4HANA, ECC, SAP Cloud solutions, and integration platforms, ensuring alignment between SAP operations, enterprise risk appetite, and business objectives. 
 
This role is responsible for managing the current SAP security landscape, including audit oversight, while establishing governance and guardrails for future transformation programs. It involves configuring and maintaining security controls, managing the employee lifecycle, and working closely with internal teams and external partners. We are seeking someone with a strong SAP security background and solid technical understanding of vulnerabilities, as you will coordinate our internal response to vulnerability reports through to resolution.

• Ensure SAP environments meet all regulatory, contractual, privacy, and internal policy obligations. 
• Conduct SAP risk assessments and drive control design, remediation, and continuous governance maturity uplift through automation and SAP GRC capabilities. 
• Leverage SAP GRC tools and automation to streamline compliance processes, reduce manual effort, and enable a shift to cloud aligned, risk-based governance.
